Lisateavet leiate siit: Foorum (ingl. k): Must-toonekure pesakaamera asub Karula Rahvuspargis. Jälgime seda pesa alates 2016. aastast. Aastatel 2016-2019 lennuvõimestus siin pesas 2-3 poega aastas. 2020. aastal tuli pesale uus noor emaslind ning kuigi ta munes kaks muna, siis ilmselt olid pesitsuse algus liiga hiline ja pesitsus ebaõnnestus. 2021. aastal lennuvõimestus siin pesas 3 poega. Vanalindude nimed on Karl II ja Kaia. 2022 läks pesast lendu neli poega (sh üks kasupoeg) ja 2023 samuti 3 poega (sh Kalvi saatjaga).
